Sofrito-Marinated Steak

9 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (cored and seeded)
  • 1 bunch cilantro or 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 lb flank steak, scored on both sides

Directions

  1. 1
    For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
  3. 3
    Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
  4. 4
    Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
  5. 5
    Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.
